everybody warm. this will be the coldest night we have had so far this season. these are freeze warnings, a freeze is likely. 32 degrees, if not colder in all the purple areas. that does include howard county, montgomery county, also loudoun, prince william, and fauquier, and many points to the north and west. this is additional now. frost advisories for the district for fairfax and prince georges county and over to anne arundel. that generally means your temperature could fall to 36 degrees. so what you want to do on a night like this is bring in those sensitive plants or cover up anything you don't want to lose, because it may be too cold tonight. 58 degrees now. the wind continues to keep temperatures mixed up just a little bit and keeps the atmosphere mixed up. it would be colder. at this hour, gusts to 30 miles an hour. definitely a chill in the air with that. again, better, but still a bit of a breeze for the game for those of you heading out there. dulles, wind gusts at 22 miles

an hour and so once we remove those winds and they get lighter, we are talking about 32 degrees for gaithersburg tonight. 28 for frederick. here in the district, 40 to 41 degrees. but again, feeling colder in many other areas. a snapshot of your weekend, it looks terrific. ten degrees on sunday. we have had a front going through this afternoon and that's why our temperatures have dropped and wind picked up. sunny and cool for saturday. warmer day on sunday. looks fantastic. and we'll probably have a little bit of a mix of sun and clouds and maybe another nats game. here's your forecast with high pressure in control for tomorrow in a northeast wind. we will notice that chill in the air, but again, a warm up coming for us on sunday. we jump ahead to your fox 5accu weather forecast. a nice weekend with a 10-degree difference in temperature between saturday and sunday. monday could be interesting, brian, about 74 degrees. stronger front coming through. could produce some showers and thunderstorms and it looks settled and a little bit cooler

people stepped up. >> ross had a great start. probably the best start of any pitcher, not to mention ian desmond. in the later innings. >> when he had to hand it off, they stepped up as well. let's take you inside their game last night. jordan zimmerman, relieved starting pitcher in the 7th. he struck out all three batters he faced. the game even at 1. 8th inning, it was tyler cliff ford's turn. keep the score tied at 1. drew struck out the first two batters he faced. eight consecutive outs. detwiler certainly appreciative of his bullpen. >> can't say enough about jordan coming out of the bullpen. seeing 97 and a nasty slider at 91, you feel like hitters don't have a chance. >> to do that in the 7th inning like jordan did, it's incredible. especially in a situation that he's not used to. but that's another thing that makes baseball so much fun. >> you know, cliff came in and

drew came in and put up zeros and it was only a matter of time. >> from pitching to offense, we look at the two big hitters, ian desmond and ryan zimmerman. >> and jason worth stepped up, but a couple guys that need to have great performances tonight, danny, he is just one for 12. adam laroche, 2 for 13. and then mike morris, he is 3 for 15, and the other players struggling. the rookie, bryce harper. he has not faired so well in his debut here. he has claimed four games, one hit, and 18 at bats. six of those have been strikeouts. he tried everything, batting gloves, he cannot break out of this funk. he hopes tonight he can get it turned around. >> really frustrated about it really. i'm just missing pitches. just popping them up. just missing them. i feel good up there. there's nothing i can do. coming out here and everybody swinging it and you know, i'm

down or he has been making good pass. so his legs and accuracy are both jumping out at me. >> we are looking at another game that is in progress right now. the baltimore orioles and new york yankees and right now, in the 5th inning, the yankees have the edge, 1-0. >> it's an exciting time for baseball. we'll monitor it all. we will be here. we'll hopefully have a champagne celebration. >> you can never have too much of that. we'll send it back to you guys. >> back here tonight at 10:00. the news edge at 11:00. have a fantastic friday night. see you. when i was younger and... financially stable. we were poor. the mgm casino in michigan. and it changed her life. clerk. way up. insurance... and i make great money. seven will create... twelve thousand jobs. to accountants... and construction workers. place to work with good pay... question seven.
